Anti-Trump protest planned in New Orleans to push back on June 14 parade

State of play: The protests, which represent action from more than 100 pro-democracy advocacy groups, are collected under the banner of "No Kings."

What they're saying: "No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance," organizers wrote on a website listing hundreds of protests across the country. "From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we're taking action to reject authoritarianism."

• Organizers called Trump's planned military parade "a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday," the No Kings website said.
• "A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn't staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else."

Zoom in: New Orleans' protest is organized by Indivisible NOLA, a branch of the Indivisible Project.

• Local organizers expect about 1,500 protesters, a press release says, as they march from the Marigny to Washington Square Park on Saturday morning.
• They'll do so as a show of "rejecting authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics, and the militarization of our democracy," organizers say.

By the numbers: Millions of people are estimated to protest in more than 1,800 rallies across all 50 states and commonwealths including Puerto Rico, organizers said.

• Some international rallies are also planned in countries including Colombia, Malawi, Italy, Portugal, Germany and the United Kingdom.

What we're watching: The Women's March is separately organizing nationwide protests called "Kick Out the Clowns."

• The closest Women's March rallies are in Baton Rouge and Gulfport, Miss.
• "June 14 is our chance to reflect the absurdity of the MAGA regime and the clowns who lead it," its website said.
